Mark Henry recently spoke to the Times of India about WWE where he talked about when he might retire and more. You can check out the interview here and read a few highlights below.
WWE has recently recruited two athletes from India. With just one recognised name in the form of The Great Khali in the industry in all these years, do you think their future is bright?
Indian wrestlers definitely have a place in the industry. I really hope that the future beholds the best for those two. In fact, one of the reasons why I’m in India is to motivate potential athletes to pick up sports entertainment as a career. With the right amount of exposure, you never know what wonders kids can do.
You have had an illustrious career as a sports entertainer. Are there any unfulfilled wishes, either personally or professionally?
Well, I’ve done it all; won several championships. My ambition now is to be a part of finding the future talent of wrestling and open up the sport to countries like India.
WWE’s premier annual event WrestleMania will be hosted in your home territory of Texas next year. Into the last year of your contract, will we see the last of you there?
I may retire next year. It may be the swansong of my wrestling career; but definitely not the end of Mark Henry!
